Reitermayer, and to our supporters Peter Glatz and Andreas Thiel, Euroclassica Website is absolutely in place with an outstanding technical quality. The challenge now should be to link each national member homepage and to circulate continuously updated contents. 2 — Newsletter The regular publication of Euroclassica Newsletter was granted by Barbara Pokornà, who cared for the editorial organization, for the print and the postage. John Bulwer continued to help to improve the linguistic competence of our drafts. 3 — The Academiae The Academia Homerica received about 140 participants and, as always, was very sucessful in all the activities, mainly the visit to Troy. It is noticeable the participation, for the first time, of Turkish students and speakers. The Academia Latina had finally the first edition in a very different way from Academia Homerica but with the same intent of increasing the general interest for the classical culture. In both cases, to achieve these projects was only possible because of the devotion of Maria Eleftheria Giatrakou and Marianna Georgountzou-Nikitopoulou in the first case; and Eva Tarandi and Maria-Rosaria di Garbo in the second; 4 — Classics in Europe Euroclassica Committee favoured a certain number of projects concerning the identification of the arguments in favour of classics teaching and the establishment of a European Classical curriculum. These goals are very urgent, since the situation of classics in the education system of certain countries allows no optimism (Belgium, Croatia, France, Portugal, Romania, Switzerland). The Belgian video project has received until now film sequences from five countries: Austria, Portugal, Romania, Switzerland and French-speaking Belgium. As a result of these five contributions, a DVD will be offered to each of the participating countries. The DVD will be shown at Dubrovnik to those who are interested in it. The project is not necessarily complete. Other contributions can be added later and the project 4 will grow step by step, as some countries seem to need more time to complete their sections. For the project on Classics Teaching in Europe, J. Bulwer has already received several contributions and prepares the publication of the final result. The Europatria project is underway. The texts of each country should be finished at the latest in two years. Meanwhile, at the next general assemblies, beginning with that of Dubrovnik, the countries which have finished their work will have the chance to present it. Alfred Reitermayer is leading the discussion of two important subjects to the future of classics. The first concerns a European Curriculum for the Study of Classical Languages. After the approval of the first step, we are undertaking now the second stage of this project . It aims at a European programme for the study of Latin as well as the first stage for the teaching of Greek. We hope that every representative of the country members discussed the matter in their associations and can formulate specific comments for discussion at the general assembly in Dubrovnik. The second subject concerns the definition on the structures of the bases of European languages, a project created by the European Council. When A. Reitermayer will finish his work on the European curriculum for the study of classical languages, Euroclassica will be able to contribute to the project of the European Council. 5 — Cooperation Euroclassica Exevutive Committee had contacts with a lot of responsibles for projects and supported initiatives for the promotion of classical culture, mainly such as CIRCE, Initiative fuer humanistische Bildung in Europa, Mouson Dora ‘The Gift of the Muses’, a very interesting project presented to the Executive Committee in Brussels by Madame F. Jurion, and the Certamen della Tuscia. H.-J. Glücklich informed the committee of a request from the ACL to organise with Euroclassica a congress in Europe. This idea was first transmitted to me in May 2004, in Lisbon, in a meeting with HJG. As the Committee did not receive from ACL an official letter on this, the committee cannot for the moment take a position. Nevertheless all Americans who wish to participate at a Euroclassica congress are welcome. I would like to emphasize now a lot of ideas that some of us, responding to a kind invitation, have discussed in Athens in October 2004 with Odeg (organisation for the international promotion of the Greek language): — we have decided not only to continue to support the Competition for Ancient Greek, but also to envisage the organisation of a similar competition for university students. — we promised our support to an exhibition of Greek and Latin course books in Athens participated by ODEG. Every national member association should send the course books used in their country or at least the references of the books and the publishers’ details. After the exhibition the books should be sent to the Heidelberg Documentation Centre. 5 — ODEG wishes also to organize an international project on Greek theatre. The representatives of the Executive Committee and J.-L. Navarro, who was present at Athens for this discussion, are in favour of it. Exact details are awaited from Odeg. 6 — Lobbying ODEG proposes to contact European parliamentary representatives on a project concerning classical languages. Each Euroclassica representative should contact a Member of the European Parliament, who is likely to participate in this project. This is a very creative approach. As such, the Committee decided to discuss it in the General Assembly in Dubrovnik. 7 — Heidelberg Documentation Centre. On his request, H-J Glücklich was present in Brussels for the Executive Committee meeting where he asked all the members to send books to Heidelberg Documentation Centre. Personally, I was very interested in this matter, since in the meeting of Athens with ODEG, I had proposed that the books offered to the exhibition in Athens should be sent to Euroclassica Documentation Centre. The Committee felt that the books offered by the national associations before should be accessible to everybody. In consequence, the Committee asked H-J Glücklich to present a catalogue of the books already received, and he promised to do so in two weeks. 8 — Internal organisation At the meeting in Genoa, some participants objected to the term ex officio members. For this reason, the Executive Committee, in accordance with article 14 of the statutes, decided to grant or renew specific powers to three persons, instead of speaking of ex officio members: H.-J. Glücklich, the responsibility for the Documentation Centre in Heidelberg and for contacts with the ACL (American Classical League); M-E Giatrakou, the responsibility for Academia Homerica; to John Bulwer, the task of assistant editor of the Newsletter. 9 — Euroclassica future Congresses For 2006, the Congress in Stockholm is confirmed. For 2007, our Russian colleagues accept to organize it in San Petersburg. For 2008, Macedonia is the greatest possibility. 10 — Finantial issues In Genoa, some participants complainted for the absence of documentation concerning the finantial report. These problem can be solved only when the membership fees are paid some time before the General Assembly. This solution has costs, since the transfer by bank, instead of payment in the very moment of the General Assembly, means the loss of about 25% of the amount. But the cheaper solution faces 6 the problem of the ocasional absence of some national associations in the assemblies and the impossibility of preparing documentation in due time. Another problem is a fiscal one. I decided to consult E. Wolter as well as the Luxembourg embassy in Portugal. From these contacts I have concluded that Euroclassica, since it is a non-profit making enterprise is not subject to VAT and so has neither the need for nor the right to a fiscal number. If any sponsors request this number, the national representative can show them the official response of the Luxembourg Embassy.

  • CAPITAL LINK SHIPPING LEADERSHIP AWARD Captain
    CAPITAL LINK SHIPPING LEADERSHIP AWARD Captain PANAGIOTIS N. TSAKOS Panagiotis N. Tsakos was born in Kardamyla on the island of Chios, Greece from Maria Gregos and Nikolas Tsakos, both descending from seafarers families. For young Panagiotis the sea has always been in his blood; thus, going to sea was a natural course rather than a choice. Yet, this destiny was due to become a lifelong passion which created a distinct marine culture in the years to come. Panagiotis N. Tsakos studied the profession of becoming a captain and graduated from the Livanos Marine Academy at his hometown Kardamyla in Chios, the birth- place of a number of prominent personalities of the maritime industry. He then embarked on a maritime career, promoted through the ranks to Captain and thereafter advanced to a shipping executive with a major Greek Owner. Striking out on his own, it was natural for him to lead a small group of investors- comprised of family members and friends- on to the acquisition of the first Tsakos Shipping &- Trading S.A. ship, back in 1970. ship, back in 1970. Surrounded by his brothers and friends, inspired by his life time companion and wife Dr Irene Saroglou, and thereafter supported by his beloved children Niko and Maria, he has lead that little company to its current proportions expanding its investment base and attaining successful sustainable growth over all these years, through good and bad times for the industry. His prime concern was not merely his personal business interests but moreover this of the overall shipping commu- nity. Within this context the formation of the Hellenic Marine Consortium in early ‘80s signified his commitment in addressing means of supporting medium to low shipping entrepreneurs amidst adverse market conditions.

    Post-FAM Tour Chios l May 16-19, 2019 COST: Occupancy Price (per person) Double Occupancy $599 Single Occupancy $798 WHERE: Chios A mastic-scented island with fascinating history. Much as Chios is famous for its mastic, it is not the only “magic” one can find on this island. Alongside its rich history starting from the Neolithic Age and including adventures with Saracene pirates and the Turks during the Greek Revolution, Chios also claims to be the birthplace of Homer. It was certainly the birthplace of eminent Greek politicians and writers The most famous local product is mastic. Known throughout the world, mastic is an appellation d’origine contrôlée (= controlled designation of origin) product growing only in the South of Chios, where it has been raised since the 8th-7th century A.D. This natural product is cultivated entirely by hand and is nowadays used in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and cosmetics. At the central market of the town of Chios, you can buy mastic-based jams and sweets, brandies and, of course, local delicious ouzo! Chios, part of the Northeastern Aegean island complex, is home to 53,000 people today. Explore the places where these people build their day-to-day lives: either in medieval settlements where Genoa and Chios meet, or in beautiful small towns by the sea, and participate in religious festivities where the locals make their own colorful history WHEN: May 16-19, 2019 Page | 1 ITINERARY: • Thursday, May 16 o Arrival Transfer to the CHIOS CHANDRIS hotel o Afternoon tour to Nea Moni, Anavatos & Avgonima • Friday, May 17 o Full-day tour to South Chios (Pyrgi, Mesta & Emporios (Lunch included) • Saturday, May 18 o Full-day day tour North Chios (Volissos, Agia Markella, Pytios, Kardamyla, Lagada – Lunch included o Farewell to Chios Dinner in Yalos tavern • Sunday, May 19 o Departure Transfer to Airport WHAT’S INCLUDED: • Hotel accommodation at the Chios Chandris hotel, including daily breakfast and taxes.

  • The European Curric
    Euroclassica Newsletter Number 17, February 2009 INTRODUCTION Dear readers of Newsletter 2009! It is done: The European Curriculum for Ancient Greek is approved after six years of work and discussion since November 1, 2008 after the provisional approval of the general assembly from 29th of August, 2008 in Bucharest. Some precisions will follow in the next Newsletter. Miroslav Adamis, the head of Cabinet of Mr. Jan Figel, European Commissioner responsible for education, Culture and Youth thanked Mr. Meissner for his detailed analysis of the recommendation of the European parliament on key competences and wished Euroclassica further success in our mission of strengthening the position of classical education: “A solid knowledge of linguistic structures which Latin is supposed to provide both for the mother tongue and foreign languages, is certainly an ideal foundation for future language learning … I believe that young democrats who had the opportunity to study, for instance, the orations of Cicero in the original will have a deeper insight into how democracy works.” I congratulate all directors of EUROCLASSICA for their great achievement in organizing past or future academies in Greece (Maria Eleftheria Giatrakou), Italy (Eva Tarandi) and Croatia (Jadranka Bagaric). Thanks are due to our webmasters Peter Glatz and Andreas Thiel for the outstanding quality of our website (www.euroclassica.eu) and Franz Riegler for the development of our new Learning platform (www.sprachenstudio.net/latein), the electronic base of our future European Certificate for Classics. My warmest thanks also go to Gabriela Cretia, the organizer of our last congress in Bucharest, which was a special experience for the general assembly of Euroclassica.
